Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for shredding elastic strips such as noodle strips in food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a shredder of this type, for example, udon, ramen, buckwheat, etc., in food is shredded into noodle strips from noodle strips, the shredding blades shown in FIGS. is there. The shreds shown in FIG. 3 are rotatably supported in parallel, and the outer circumferences of the rotating rollers 1 and 2 are dissimilarly shaped into square blades 3.
4 is formed, and the groove portion 3 is provided between each of the square blades 3 and 4.

Similarly, the shreds shown in FIG. 4 are rotatably supported parallel to each other, and the outer circumferences of the rotating rollers 1 and 2 are provided with thin blades 5 and 6 integrally or separately at predetermined intervals. As shown in FIG. 5, 5 and 6 are supported by both rotary rollers 1 and 2 whose cutting edges are slightly superposed, and a noodle strip W having a predetermined thickness is inserted into the rotary rollers 1 and 2. It was pressed by the thin blades 5 and 6 and cut into noodle strings Wa having a predetermined cross section.

Similarly, the shreds shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are also rotatably supported in parallel, and are integrally or separately provided on the outer circumferences of the rotating rollers 1 and 2 at predetermined intervals, or separate round blades 7, 8 or. M-shaped blades 9, 10 are provided, and these blades 7, 8, 9,
Grooves 7a, 8a, 9a, 10a are formed between the grooves 10, respectively, and the grooves 7a, 8a, 9 are formed in a distorted shape as illustrated.
a, 10a is rotatably supported, and the noodle strip W is inserted between the rotating rollers 1 and 2 in the same manner to form a round blade 7,
8 or M-shaped blades 9 and 10 were pressed and cut into noodle strings Wa having a predetermined cross section.

[0005]

However, since the shredding by the square blades 3 and 4 is a shredding close to a press, the square surface in the cross section of the noodle band Wa is not crushed and has a rounded shape. It becomes a tinged horned surface, and therefore, for example, after cooking such as boiling or steaming, when eating, the noodle strings Wa do not have a horny surface, and thus the texture in the mouth, that is, the tactile sensation becomes poor.
There is a problem that product quality is deteriorated, and when shredded with thin blades 5 and 6, the corner surface is improved as compared with the case with the above-mentioned square blades 3 and 4, but for example noodles shredded with a buckwheat knife. Compared to the line, there is a problem that the corner surface is inferior,
Further, in the case of the round blades 7 and 8 or the M-shaped blades 9 and 10, a rounded square surface is formed as in the case of the square blades 3 and 4, and in any of the above cases, there is a problem that the texture is deteriorated. For this reason, it takes a lot of hand to obtain noodle strings with a good texture, but manual knives cutting requires a great deal of skill,
It was also inefficient. In addition, the rotating rollers 1 and 2
It is necessary to rotate at the same speed as the optimum rotation speed corresponding to the supply speed of the noodle strips W, but even if a slight deviation occurs in this rotating roller, it has a great influence on shredding.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the cutting surface can be cut straight as if it was cut by a kitchen knife without manual labor, and the four corners of the cross-sectional shape of the noodle band are formed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shredding device that can continuously shred a noodle strip having a surface.

[0007]

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention continuously cuts a strip having a predetermined width and a predetermined wall thickness, and has shreds having corner faces at four corners of a cross section. A shredding device for forming a divided body, wherein the shredding device comprises a receiving roller having a predetermined diameter and a cutter roller in which a plurality of thin blade cutters having a predetermined diameter are assembled at intervals of the shredded divided body. The blade edge of the thin blade cutter is rotatably arranged side by side in the receiving roller in a slightly biting state, and the peripheral speed of the thin blade cutter on the cutter roller side is rotated faster than the peripheral speed of the receiving roller. The present invention resides in a band-shaped shredding device configured to give a cutter a knife-cutting ability to continuously shred the band-shaped body.

[0008]

With the above-mentioned structure, the thin blade cutter has a knife-cutting ability, so that the thin section of the shredded divided piece can be cut straight, and the divided piece having a square surface in the cross section can be continuously cut. And can be shredded efficiently.
